Notes
- Butter: The melted butter helps give this cake it's fudgy dense interior which is often not the goal with a cake, you could use a non dairy butter like for like, though I have never tried this, so cannot guarantee the final result.
- Cocoa powder: This chocolate fudge cake would not be the same without the cocoa powder which you will want to be of high quality as this really and truly is a chocolate cake at heart.
- Sugar: Superfine or caster sugar gives our cake it’s sweetness without additional flavor. You could substitute with raw sugar or half and half with brown sugar, though your cake would have slightly more caramel flavor and might not result in such a crackly top.
- Cake tin: The cake tin used here was 6 inches or 15 centimeters, so the cake has a higher crust and fudgier center. A springform pan or regular cake pan between 6-8 inches or 15-20 centimeters works best here.
